1 Policies for tackling obesity and creating healthier food environments Scorecard and priority recommendations for the New South Wales February 2017 Further details available at
2 Top 3 Things New South Wales is doing well (with reference to international best practice) Executive summary Unhealthy diets and obesity are leading contributors to poor health in Australia. Addressing obesity and improving population diets requires a comprehensive response at the Commonwealth and State/ Territory levels. 101 experts from 53 organisations assessed the extent to which s in Australia are implementing globally recommended policies for tackling obesity and creating healthier food environments. Menu labelling Support and training systems to help schools to provide and promote healthy food and meals Regulations and initiatives to provide nutrition labelling in fast food outlets, including ongoing monitoring and evaluation Regular monitoring of nutrition status and rates of overweight and obesity in New South Wales children and adults Top 5 policy recommendations for New South Wales : actively monitor food environments, including marketing of unhealthy foods to children, and food in schools and public sector settings : implement policies to restrict the of unhealthy foods in settings controlled or managed by the New South Wales Menu labelling: enhance existing regulations by requiring food outlets to display more comprehensive nutrition information in an easy-to-understand format : implement a healthy food procurement and policy that applies across all New South Wales departments and settings under control School food: introduce stronger incentives and accountability mechanisms for schools to comply with healthy food policies FPI New South Wales Page 2
3 Obesity and diet-related diseases in Australia are a public health crisis Unhealthy diets and obesity are leading contributors to poor health and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Australia. 1 Almost 2 out of 3 (63%) Australian adults and 1 in 4 (25%) Australian children are overweight or obese. 2 The costs associated with overweight and obesity have been estimated at over $56 billion each year. 3 Comprehensive policy action is needed Addressing obesity and improving population diets requires a comprehensive response at Commonwealth and State/ Territory levels. This project aimed to assess the extent to which s in Australia are implementing globally recommended policies for tackling obesity and creating healthier food environments, and identify prioritised actions for each. Policy Index A Policy Index was developed for Australia to assess the food- and diet-related policies that are in place and identify gaps. This was based on the Healthy Environment Policy Index (-EPI) 4 that was developed by INFORMAS 5, an international network of experts in food policy, and has been applied in several countries. The -EPI covers all of the key policies in this area, including specific aspects of food environments (such as food composition, labelling,, prices and ) that have been shown to have an important impact on population diets and obesity, and infrastructure support (including leadership, governance, monitoring and funding) that helps facilitate effective policy implementation. Process for assessing extent of policy implementation in Australia Document all relevant policy details (up to 30 June 2016) for the Federal and each State/ Territory, in consultation with officials * Convene a panel of independent non- experts ** in each State / Territory (n=101 overall, 13 in ) Assess how well Australian s were doing compared with current international best practice ***, considering policy characteristics and extent of implementation Prioritise recommended actions for each jurisdiction to address implementation gaps, in conjunction with expert panel members Synthesise the results for each jurisdiction, in consultation with officials 1 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Australian Burden of Disease Study (2011) 2 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare; 2017: 3 Colagiuri S, et al. The cost of overweight and obesity in Australia. MJA 2010; 192 (5): Swinburn B, et al. and benchmarking policies and actions to improve the healthiness of food environments: the healthy food environment policy index. Obesity Reviews 2013; 14 Suppl 1: International Network for and Obesity/NCDs Research, and Action Support * Detailed summaries of each s policy details are available at ** Panel members included academics, nutritionists, and senior representatives from health NGOs and community groups with expertise in population nutrition and / or obesity prevention *** Global benchmarks as identified by INFORMAS. As more countries complete the -EPI assessment process and new evidence of policy action emerges, benchmarks are likely to change, informing future iterations of the tool. The Federal and each State/Territory were assessed separately; however, in some policy areas, policy development involves collaboration between Federal and State/Territory s, and implementation of national guidance and policy is at the discretion of each jurisdiction.

A steering committee, made up of Prof Sharon Friel, Prof Amanda Lee, Jane Martin, Prof Anna Peeters, Prof Boyd Swinburn and Dr Stefanie Vandevijvere, provided overall guidance to the project. The New South Wales Ministry of Health provided assistance in coordinating New South Wales input into the project. Experts from the following organisations contributed to the assessment of the New South Wales : Cancer Council New South Wales, Dietitians Association of Australia, Heart Foundation New South Wales, The George Institute for Global Health, University of Newcastle, University of Sydney, University of Wollongong.
